demographics and trends in the labor market continue to remain an unwaveringissue. Currently, there is a demand in the U.S. to produce qualified students, both at the K-12 andpostsecondary levels with suitable STEM transferable skills and a knack for scientificexploration and innovation through engineering design to aid in the growth and enrichment ofthe U.S.’s economy. In 2004, the National Science Foundation noted that half of the economicgrowth within the U.S. over the past 50+ years is credited to the scientific innovation of theSTEM workforce, which represents a minute 5% of the overall U.S. workforce.1 In order to strengthen the K-12 STEM pipeline and workforce, investments in outreachand student development are continually being

. To me, joining a leadership program seemed like the next logical step, but I had noidea how much of an impact it would make on my communication skills, leadership abilities, andgeneral outlook on life.Throughout the first three years of coursework in the program, I was continually challenged toreflect on my own personal growth and development. Without the program I know that I wouldhave thought I was „good enough‟ at all of the skills previously mentioned. As soon as thisthought pops into ones head, that is the end of any hope that one can make a difference. I thinkthat is one of the biggest lessons learned through the program‟s coursework. I feel that having agroup of people who know me and can give feedback so I can grow is the only way to

The Coordinator would read and show a problem on the bigscreen. The two students had 45 seconds to figure out the answer. Whoever buzzed in first hadthe chance to answer the question verbally. If his or her answer was correct, a point wasawarded. If the answer was incorrect, the other student had the remaining time to buzz in andanswer the question. The student who had more point(s) after 3 problems won the paring andmoved on to the next round.Soon, the 16 students shrunk down to 8, and then to 4.

To narrow the scope, the current study explores how engineeringundergraduates consider addressing societal challenges as a career choice.In the early 1990’s Robert Lent proposed a model of career choice called Social CognitiveCareer Theory (SCCT, see Figure 1) that provides a framework for understanding, explaining,and predicting the processes through which people develop occupational choice (Lent & Brown,2006; Lent, Brown, & Hackett, 1994). The SCCT model has been shown to be useful inpredicting career choice

help rectify this situation. In the process,it is believed that enthusiasm for engineering and science will increase among both adults andyoung people. Survey data indicates that demonstrating the underlying ingenuity behind nature,as exemplified above, has been moderately successful in accomplishing this goal.Thus far, as a part of this grant-funded project, 79 presentations have been made to communitygroups, churches and Christian schools with a total audience of 2,500 people. A diverse selectionof 23 of these groups was anonymously surveyed in an attempt to assess the impact of thepresentations and drive improvements for the future. The presentations typically close with livelyquestion and answer sessions between speaker(s) and audience. A

Emerging mission areas, particularly in the space and cyber domains, are expanding the need for new technical skills and expertise… A growing percentage of science and engineering graduates in the United States are foreign citizens and thus ineligible for the security clearances that many jobs in the Air Force and in the aerospace industry require.
